Aubf Flashcards
What are the urinary system
Kidney
Ureter
Bladder
Urethra
where urine is formed by FILTRATION of
blood
Kidney
carry the urine to the bladder
Ureter
stores the urine produced
Bladder
delivers the urine for EXCRETION
Urethra
Major function of kidney is the ___________ of ________; Urinary system is also called _________________
Filtration of blood; excretory system
Kidney’s function:
Mainting homeostasis
Excretion of waste product
Maintaing blood pressure
is the production of RBCs.
Erythropoeisis
is mainly released by the kidneys
Erythropoeitin
If the kidney is damaged, there is low _________ and ___________
Hemocratic and hemoglobin
The functional unit of the kidney; Approximately __________________ each kidney
Nephron; 1 to 1.5 million
is basically connected to the ability of the kidney to clear waste products
Nephron
Low blood production can lead to __________
blood transfusion
Parts of nephron
Glomerulus/renal corpucles (capillary tuft)
Bowman’s capsule
Proximal convoluted tubular
Loop of henle (ascending/descending)
Distal convoluted tubular
Afferent arteriole (portal of entry/ unfiltered)
Efferent arteriole (portal of exit / filtered)
Peritubular capillary (proximal and distal convoluted tubular)
Vasa recta (ascending/descending)
_______________ and ________________ are maintained which is controlled by nephrons
Body’s essential water and electrolyte balance
as blood flows into each nephron, it will enter a tiny blood vessel (glomerulus)
Glomerulus
participates in the filtration of
blood from glomerular capillaries
Bowman’s capsule
reabsorption happens here; give the reabsoption materials that are included:
Proximal convoluted tubular; sugar, sodium chloride, ions and water
principle function is mainly involved with the recovery of water and sodium chloride from the urine
Loop of henle
regulates extracellular fluid and maintain
electrolyte homeostasis
Distal convoluted tubular
provide immediate reabsorption of essential substances from the fluid.
In here, the final adjustments happen when it comes to urinary composition.
Peritubular capillary
major exchange of water and salt takes place in line with this particular area of____________, maintains the ____________ or __________ concentration of urine
Vasa recta; concentration or gradient
2 types of nephron
Cortical nephron
Juxtamedullary
Approximately ____________; Responsible for removal of waste products reabsorption
Cortical nephron; 85%
Approximately __________ ; Primary function
concentration of the urine
Juxtamedullary nephron
4 Renal function
Renal blood flow
Glomerular filter
Tubular reabsorption
Tubular secretion
The ___________ receive a large blood flow (25%); what renal function is responsible to this
Renal blood flow; kidney
Renal blood flow : ______________ supplies blood to the kidney.
RENAL ARTERY
Based on of average body size of ________ in terms of renal blood flow
1.73m^2
TOTAL RENAL BLOOD FLOW:
1200 mL/min
TOTAL RENAL PLASMA FLOW:
600 to 700 mL/min
Served as a sieve or a filter of plasma substances with molecular weight of __________
Glomerulus : less than 70,000
Glomerulus Consists of coil of approx. _____________ referred to as _________
eight capillary lobes ; capillary tuft
Glomerulus Located within the _______________(forms the beginning of the renal tubule)
BOWMAN S CAPSULE
In glomerular pressure has presence of ___________ (cause by size of afferent and efferent arteriole)
Hydrostatic pressure
are necessary to overcome the opposition of pressure from the fluid from the Bowman“s capsule and the ONCOTIC PRESSURE of unfiltered plasma protein
Hydrostatic pressure
This system respond to changes in blood pressure and plasma sodium content
RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN-ALDOSTERONE SYSTEM (RAAS)
RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN-ALDOSTERONE SYSTEM (RAAS) monitored by
JUXTAGLOMERULAR APPARATUS
is an enzyme which is mainly produced by the________________ cells.
Renin; Juxtamedullary cells
FUNCTION OF ANGIOTENSIN II
Vasolidation
Stimulate sodium
Release hormone aldosterone
Release antidiuretic hormone
Wha are the 2 mechanism of reabsorption
Active transport
Passive transport
Substance to be reabsorbed must combine to a carrier protein contained in the membranes of the ________________
Active transport; renal tubular cells.
